Katy Perry and GMA ran this thinger, where the best usage of her hit song "Roar" in a video...by a high school...won a concert by her...at the winner's place...cool stuff...so, over 1000 schools did just that and submitted their's...the promoters whittled it down to the top 5...and they got shown on GMA ...and this am... Katy picked her fave out...it was what I did at the last 2 high schools I taught...ran assemblies and did promotional things...nothing brings a school together like this type of thing...big time kudos to Katy and GMA! ...the winner was out of Colorado... MLB ... the Bosox got 2 of 3 in Detroit ....huge wins...BUT...the top 2 pitchers in the league go for the Tigers in their do or die series back in Boston ...now... I am interested ...over in the NL...the same drama lingers....as the Bums are down 3-2...head east to Saint Looey ...and throw their best at the Cards ... yup, interested again... Geez, I forgot that Seattle had a game last ...

What's it all about, Alfie? ...I mean, Congress passed the raising of the debt limit....and Prez O signed it into law...and we move on...for a while...and the SHUT DOWN is over...makes you wonder...so many things...the main opponent, the Tea Party ...the most of all conservative groups in the Repubs...rumored to be originally funded by the notorious Koch Bros. , out of Texas...you want a chill to your spine?...go onto the Tea Party website...and see what you think... I know I am ranting here...but... their population is over 45, white, regular Church goers, very rich, and highly educated ...hmm... some parts don't fit ...hey, there is a place and a voice for everyone in this great country...and those folks need a voice, for sure...even though I don't agree with them...that's ok...but like, in most secret societies, don't go and hide who you are ... And now... the Tea Party wants to know what part of the Repubs caved ...and gave up on the "agenda".....

Can 'em

It's now up to the Senate to save the shut down ...eegads...I say, if they don't get it done, we should impeach the blokes and blokettes ...start all over...hey, we are doing that in SD with the Mayor...find people that can actually lead, and not just take $...from you and I...stay tuned... Call it baseball 101 ... the Tigers are down in the 9th, 1-0...their leadoff guy gets a single...and THEY DON'T BUNT HIM TO 2ND! ....lets the guy swing away...promptly hits into a double play ...and out they go...Detroit, you don't deserve to win with bonehead managing ...remember, I don't care who wins... I do like that the Bums are down 3-1 ...kind of...both teams aren't my favs...but I don't mind seeing AGonzo losing...only for personal reasons...you know, bolting from SD to other places... I took a day off to celebrate my birthday...had a great time...started off by playing golf out at Sycuan ...and get this, I shot my age! ... I am now 88 ...I missed 10 p...

I am talking about my Fantasy Football Team ...we had 51 points ...the entire group!...of course, I had benched my starting QB...hey, you know as fans, we do these things...and the 2nd stringer scored 8...the starter?...30+...serves me right...I had one guy that didn't catch a pass...I am the butt of all jokes in the league...and, like many Jag fans, I see no salvation...let's FIRE THE COACH! ... oops, that's me... When I am wrong I will tell you...and you Beaver Believers ...you have a right to be up in arms...cuz you lurve 'em, fair or foul... outside of an extreme patsy schedule beginning ...E Wash, Hawaii, and SDSU...the ship has righted...and OSU is playing well...you know, I am not a fan of the system...but it is clicking...and your QB Mannion is an outright stud ...I cherished the knock out of Mike Leach's Cougs (despise that guy)...and you will seek forth and conquer your next opponent, the miserable Cal Bears...then the meat is there...Stanford, USC, A...

Topsy Turvy

You want some upsets , do you?...in this topsy turvy day of football...biggest of them all?... Stanford losing to Utah...thought it would be close, as all the Cardinal games are...and wooah, the Stoops' Oklahoma Sooners stunned by Texas...the embattled head coach of the Longhorns, Mack Brown, hanging on dearly to his job there... BIG WIN! ... Georgia going down to Mizzou...who, as being undefeated, will scream up the charts...and near... Texas A&M ...pulling one out of the hat against Ol Miss...winning on a buzzer beater...FG...hey, the losers, all had the same color of unis.... The Ducks are for real, kids...soundly beating UDub in Seattle...without De'Anthony Thomas...still...QB Mariotta had a splendid game...and is LEADING in the race for the top collegiate football player...the stoopidly named Heisman Trophy...I digress...UO is better on D than I thought...and, out of the Paloose...the other Oregon team... OSU ...won again...with the bewildering spread of 1, favo...
